    Question about changing brake shoes...

    I did use new springs and pins... I'm going to try to replace the lines, should I replace the line inside the drum I was talking about, or only the one going to the emergency brake?

    Question about changing brake shoes...

    Thanks for all the suggestions; I was able to get the drum on by pulling down on the cable that wraps to the side, in front of the shoe... I think this is the emergency brake cable?? I did lift the emergency brake before I put the drum on to see if it was working, could this have made that...

    Question about changing brake shoes...

    Thanks for the replies... I got the drivers side in fine.. Theres no chance that the pass side drum is going on though.. Like you said, its the adjuster.. Without it the drum fits fine, but once I put the adjuster in (all the way down) it opens the shoes too much to fit the drum in.. Any...

    Question about changing brake shoes...

    Steering very loose..

    I was just wondering if there is a way to tighten out steering? Its very easy to turn the wheel, which I don't like so much.. On the highway, it feels like they wheel is just going to turn on its own, i'm not knocking on power steering.. I just dont want it to work so well, lol

    How to clean brake caliper?

    Ok, thanks for all the replies... I feel a lot more confident with this now... One last question, if I was to replace the fluid, can I refill it with DOT 5 or 4, or do I have to stick to 3?

    How to clean brake caliper?

    Ok, ill just get the advanced auto parts store ones... Do I have to change the brake fluid as well, or just bleed the brakes? What about stainless steel brake lines? Since im working on the brakes anyway.. Are these worth it? Do they give you better braking, or is it just for looks?

    How to clean brake caliper?

    Would I be better off just buying new ones? My local parts store sells them for only $28 each.. Or do you know of a good website to buy better ones? I wont mind spending some more money for better, nicer looking calipers..

    How to clean brake caliper?

    I am in the process of changing my brake calipers, and I noticed the caliper is pretty dirty, so I wanted to clean it up a bit. I removed it from the brake line, can I just spray it down with brake cleaner and scrub it, or do I have to take it apart further first?

    How to remove driver side fender?

    Seems like an easy task, but I cant get the damn thing off! I removed the bolts in the engine, the ones in the door, and the ones under the fender the look like they connect to the bumper.. It still seems pretty tight though, I didnt want to put too much force because I was afraid I was going to...

    Short tube vs long tube?

    I have the car stock right now; eventually I want to do h/c/i. I just installed a magnaflow exhaust, but don’t really like how low it is... I want it to be louder, so I figured installing header and x pipe will do the trick... Someone had told me if I ever plan on lowering the car to not get...

    Short tube vs long tube?

    I tried doing a search but didnt find much.. What is the difference between long and short tube headers? I found someone selling BBK Longtubes and an X-pipe but dont know if that will bolt up fine.. I have a Magnaflow exhaust..
